I'm quite new to python, so I don't really know if this is a bug or not.
If /usr/lib/python2.1/site-packages does not exist when the RPM is installed, both the directories /usr/lib/python2.1 and /usr/lib/python2.1/site-packages get the default attributes of drwx------ Is this correct? As a normal user I can't get access to the package and it will not work.
If /usr/lib/python2.1/site-packages doesn't exist, you don't have python2.1 installed.
That's right, I use Python 2.2.
My experience is that the MySQL-Python library works fine with Python 2.2, except for the problem I described above.
That particular RPM was compiled for use with Python 2.1, not 2.2. You need to recompile from source to make it work properly with 2.2. MySQL-python-0.9.2 will have a Python 2.2 RPM as well.
Sorry. Brainfart.
Any thoughts on when 0.9.2 will be out?
